Algorithm Recently Purchased Items (Interactions - Optimized)

[former_member655559]

Hello!
The SAP Help documentation says that the algorithm Recently Purchased Items (Interactions - Optimized) is available in SAP Marketing 1909 (see)

We creating a recommendation model type with Optimized Algorithms Only and Recommendation Type: SAP Hybris Marketing Product. Then, we creating recommendation model with step recommend product. But the algorithm Recently Purchased Items (Interactions - Optimized) is not available for query algorithms.

Is it possible to use this algorithm in SAP Marketing 1909?

Thank you.

Hello Alena,

The only reason I can think of for why that algorithm is not available to you is that its Display Mode is not set correctly.

This algorithm attribute (available in SPRO) defines whether or not the algorithm can be used in the Recommendation and Manage Recommendations apps. The following display modes are available:

• "Basic" enables an algorithm to be used in the Recommendation Models and Manage Recommendations apps.
• "Expert" restricts the use of an algorithm to the Recommendation Models app.
• "Hidden" prevents an algorithm from being used in either of the apps.

Depending on which app you are using, you could just see is the algorithm is available in the Recommendation Models app. If it is, then then you can:

1. change the algorithm's Display setting in SPRO, or
2. just set up your model using Recommendation Models, and then switch to Manage Recommendations if that is what you prefer.

If you still cannot find the algorithm, you can check:

1. SPRO -> SAP Marketing -> Recommendation -> Configure Algorithms,
2. locate CEI_IA_RECENT_SOLD_PRE_GEN in the table [which is the Recommendation Algorithm ID for "Recently purchased items (Interactions - Optimized)" - and incidentally that would be your clear indicator that the algorithm is provided in your system]
3. Ensure that it is not set to "Hidden"

If all that fails, or you cannot locate the algorithm in the table as described above, then you should create a support ticket.
